Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
But that competition exists everywhere even on Lemmy. Any platform that provides this system of comment votes and sort by most liked will always be like that.
True but right now the amount of users made commenting worthwhile to me too
